Tell me about it Guenevere!
actually today not as bad as yesterday, I was constantly starving yesterday. I supposed I could have had a bigger dinner but I wanted to save some points because I am really craving curry at the moment so I reckon if I am really good and save some points I can have a curry (home made) at some point at the end of the week.

I am starving today...I forgot to have lunch and had a goats milk yoghurt! Probably should have some lentil soup now, but it's really close to dinner, and I'm going out later....oh I dunno what to do.

I have the same curry plan for later in the week! I have the green chillis, garlic, ginger, lime leaves etc, and the reduced fat coconut milk....I"m going thai, green. It'll probably be 20 points with rice. I'm using BBC Good foods, makeover green curry by Angela Hartnet. What one are you thinking of?

I spent most of the afternoon out today, first was a mum and baby group followed by a couple of laps around the local park with the pushchair, then I walked home - don't know how to work out activity points so I am not counting them in todays. I was absolutely famished by the time I came home.

I have noticed that most of my veg is frozen and there has been no fruit included in my diet since the start- something I need to remedy.

As for the curries, I love indian curry's like the ones my mum used to make when I was little. As such, I don't really tend to follow any recipe for curry. I have used BBC Good Food pre WW and have to say some of their recipes especially for baking are excellant - I made a chocolate birthday cake and apple pie using the recipe's on BBC God Food and both came out lovely.

I think I might try a 0pnt veggie curry and then use up some of my points on my rice (basmati rice, cooked with lightly fried onions, herbs/spices and some peas/potato/chick peas), I dunno yet for sure but I love chick peas, potato's and peas basically all the stuff you have to point!

I am having the lightly salted popcorn - don't have the exact values but it's not a big a packet as the normal snack a jacks and the online points calculator values it at 1 point. I don't know if they do sweet versions of the popcorn now, a few years ago I think they did because I vaguely remember buying them to take with me to the cinema but I haven't seen any in my local tesco's

this is the calculator I use - but I suspect it is rounding things up to the nearest point and not all that accurate - I might need to invest in a proper WW one.
